Requested move

I think thid page should be moved to Jim Taggart (Eureka) as it is just a minor character whereas the one i am going to create is the central character in the show, Taggart, this would be better rather than Jim Taggart (Taggart) as it looks and sounds weird.

Would it make more sense to add your proposed content to either Taggart or to Mark McManus? It probably depends on whether there's enough of a case that the character is notable independently of the show. --AndrewHowse (talk) 20:25, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The character was really notable and has been referenced in several media works, such as slumdog millionare for example. Andrew22k (talk) 22:25, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Character history

I'm catching up on the end of Season 3 and he "comes back" in the second-to-last episode, but I don't remember him leaving, much less under what circumstances. It's mentioned that he "is scheduled to appear at the end of season 3", and though the episodes have been broadcast I don't know what to do with this sentence because I can't very well say he reappeared without talking about his disappearance. I'd be a good Wikipedian and provide a full history, but it'd require me watching the whole series over again or doing a lot of research I'm not good at. I might do it anyway if nobody takes it on, but it'd be super cool if someone did. Greg Ravn (talk) 14:03, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Claims to be an Aussie?

I'd like to see some citation on this - normally with a fictional series you'd just say he _is_ an Aussie, unless there's reason to believe his claim is false. Where does he claim it? Is there any evidence either way as to the truth of it?

In S1E09, there's one random comment by Jack that "there are no Scouts in Australia", which implies (a) that Taggart's claim of Australian origin is well known, (b) that Jack doesn't believe it, and (c) that Jack has no clue about the Australian scouting movement. It's nearly as wrong as Princess Bride's comments on this country...

I've watched most of season one, and almost every episode it is hinted at. Firstly there is his unrealistic Aussie accent. Then there's other references, for example him describing a desert in Australia and a forest in Tasmania. Early in the season, several characters needed to be 'calmed down' and each viewed soothing images on a screen, in his case: a koala in a gum tree. And most significantly, one episode they showed his office, that was full of Aussie icons and the Aussie flag. He uses the words 'mate' and 'fair dinkum' on occasion. I suppose the producers had to leave so many hints for the audience, on account of his poorly imitated accent. Vince (talk) 01:47, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
